Hey, Im looking for something to record with over the holidays so I can keep uplaoding to youtube. All that i will be recording is a Acoustic guitar, vocals and a bassline (maybe), Would the Tascam DP008 or This ^^ , be a better choice? Thankyou :)

@ThatGuyCalledBradC We'd say the BR-800 is probably better suited to your needs.

Hay can someone help me please. I want to buy this for my band to record some demo's on (So we can postpone our EP and save up some serious money to get professional recordings done)

Is this piece of equipment any good? Is it good quality? If it helps, we're a 4-piece punk-rock/pop-punk band...Kind of like: Blink-182, Sum 41, Jimmy Eat World...That kind of music, so no heavy distortion or anything, haha.

HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED!

[AndertonsMusic]

@ManTheBlink Yeah it is Good quality and will record demos nicely for sure.

I'd like to know what scale is he using when he's soloing at 2:17. can someone help me? thanks!

But can you make tracks on the computer and direct them? Cause it would be boring if it was the same thing playing over and over..

IMPORTANT QUESTION!!

Is this an 8 track recorder or 6 tracks?

because i only see 6 tracks, but is 5/6 and 7/8 double tracks or what you would call it?

i mean can you record a track on 5/6 and then record another track on top of the other on 5/6??

hey ur that crazy gr-55 guy, are you well known? if you are then I guess I look like an idiot

[AndertonsMusic]

@UKToneKing I don't really understand what you're trying to do. You can't (unless you amp is modded somehow?) play through both inputs on a Bassman at the same time. So you would have to keep plugging and unplugging depending on what you wanted to hear? Still sounds to me like a looper pedal would make a lot more sense but if you think you can achieve what you want with a BR-800 then maybe it is for you. You make the choice at the end of the day

@AndertonsMusic I was under the impresion, I could stick it into the bass channel of my bassman, and play guitar through the normal channel, becasue don't forget, my amp is not a switchable channel like most amps built today, mine is the silverface bassman, which works whichever channel U jacked into, was told I could play the drum beat through the bass channel and play through the normal channel, maybe I can do that, but not record ?
